Bradford High has hired former Hamilton County coach Corey Green as new football coach, replacing Steve Reynolds, who resigned two weeks ago.

The Tornadoes went 9-11 in Reynolds' two years as coach, reaching the state playoffs in 2013 despite going 3-7 on the year.

Corey Green, who assisted his father Danny Green for five years (2008-2012) as offensive coordinator at Orange Park, was an assistant at Fleming Island in 2013. His only previous head coaching experience was at Hamilton County from 2005-2007.

Reynolds left to become an assistant coach at Orange Park Oakleaf, teaming up with former Bradford coach Derek Chipoletti, who he served as an assistant with the Tornadoes before taking over when Chipoletti left.

“My biggest goal right now is trying to get more kids involved in the program,” Green said. “The numbers have dropped considerably and I want to get out in the community to try to get more kids that want to play football. I am trying to reignite the fire at Bradford High.”
